You should read Bataille because you feel the absolute emptiness of your life being postponed for some future "project" that will never arrive. Your entire existence is built on the slavish, decline morality of self-preservation, a pathetic attempt to accumulate strength for a tomorrow you sacrifice today for. Bataille offers the path of inner experience as the only way out. It's about embracing non-knowledge, pushing your reason until it collapses into the abyss and you face the anguish of your own limits. He shows that real communication isn't between two whole, intact people but requires a wound, a laceration. Sovereignty is found in the frivolous moments you refuse to justify like laughter, intoxication, eroticism that isn't about some pure union but about filth, about the wound, about the crime that opens you to nothingness. It's about taking Nietzsche's death of God to its final, terrifying conclusion and choosing to live by chance, to risk everything not for a goal but for the sake of the risk itself, to finally reach the end of the possible, even if that end is just an annihilating, yawning gap.
Am I living a Bataillen life by descending into substance abuse and continuing to "date" this really hot girl who cheats on me all the time just because the sex is incredible
>>24799282You don't actually believe any of the nonsense that you just wrote.
>>24799282If I read Bataille I'm just going to be jacking off all day
>>24799282Can you explain that again, but in English this time? I don't understand what the fuck you are trying to express.
>>24799394That exciting feeling you get when you do something like drugs or cheating on your girlfriend? That's the best feeling. You should chase that even though it will end in your ruin. There I just saved you not only Bataille but pretty much every French "thinker" since 1900
>>24799400Bataille would have been a big fan of listening to death metal and saying nigger on 4chan. Also a friend of Jeffrey Epstein
>>24799282No sane person can live like that, not even Bataille himself
Serial killer philosophy
Bataille looks unwell
>>24799282I've read Story of the Eye and I'm reading thru Literature and Evil every now and then. This particular schizobabble intrigues me. Where do I go next? The book on Nietzsche?
>>24799404>No sane personExactly, you have to go insane for it like Niezsche did
>>24799408Yeah thats what I got from him too
>>24799282>all these excuses to justify coprophilia, zoophilia and paedophilia
